Harvest Report: The Swift Journey of Blackberry Auto Greetings, fellow cultivators! The moment we've all been eagerly awaiting has arrived – the harvest of my Blackberry Auto. This beauty has moved through her life cycle with astonishing speed and grace. Let's take a moment to reflect on her incredible journey from seed to harvest and celebrate the fruits of our labor. Seed to Sprout: It feels like just yesterday when I planted the tiny seed of Blackberry Auto. Nestled in a Root Riot cube, she sprouted with vigor, her first delicate leaves reaching for the light. The conditions were perfect, with temperatures at a steady 28°C and relative humidity at 95%, creating an ideal environment for her early growth. Transplanting and Early Growth: As she transitioned to a small pot filled with rich soil and Mycor Mix, Blackberry Auto continued to thrive. The Mycor Mix, with its blend of various mycorrhizae species, worked wonders in enlarging her root system and facilitating nutrient uptake. Her early growth was nothing short of spectacular, setting the stage for the robust plant she would become. Rapid Vegetative Phase: Blackberry Auto quickly outgrew her initial pot and was soon transplanted into her final home – a 16L AutoPot. This setup allowed her to drink as she pleased, supported by the precise hydration of the AutoPot Aquavalve. With a foundation of Aptus All-in-One Pellets and Mycor Mix Soil, she had everything she needed for explosive growth. Her leaves grew enormous and lush, and her branches spread wide with gentle low-stress training. Swift Flowering and Stunning Development: Entering the flowering phase, Blackberry Auto didn't slow down. Her buds formed quickly, each one a masterpiece of nature. The colors were a sight to behold – deep purples, vibrant magentas, and hints of dark blue. The aromatic symphony filled the grow room, a testament to her potent genetics and the meticulous care provided. Natural Brilliance and Final Weeks: Observing her rapid progress, I ceased all feedings to let Blackberry Auto showcase her natural brilliance. Her final weeks were marked by a dazzling display of colors and an incredible pace of bud development. Each day brought new marvels, as her buds swelled and her trichomes sparkled like a constellation. A Heartfelt Reflection: From the moment she sprouted to her final days of flowering, Blackberry Auto has been a true wonder. Her speed and beauty have exceeded all expectations, and it's hard to believe how quickly she reached this point. This journey has been a testament to the magic of cultivation and the resilience of a well-bred strain. Acknowledgments and Gratitude: As we celebrate this harvest, I extend my deepest gratitude to @fastbuds_official for creating such a remarkable strain. To Aptus Holland, my main sponsor, your support has been invaluable in nurturing this beauty. A special thank you to Grow Diaries for providing a platform to share this journey, and to the community for your shared passion and camaraderie. 🌱💚 As we move forward, I eagerly anticipate the trim and smoke reports, where we'll dive into the sensory delights of Blackberry Auto. For now, let's revel in the joy of a successful harvest and the extraordinary journey that brought us here. Genetics Blackberry Auto @Fast_Buds Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life

7/18 so even though shes been flowering for only 5 weeks(starting6) shes looking closer to being done than I had expected. Shes been losing alot of yellow leaves and most of the pistils are orange now. I checked the trichomes as best as I could today and on the main/top cola, I saw some amber but very little. But the rest of the buds were mostly clear I believe. I still want her to keeo going another few weeks but we'll see as time and trichomes progress. I added some extra flowering nutes and a product thats got good stuff like kelp and molasses and crab meal and stuff besides NPK values to help the plants put on some extra weight hopefully. 7/19 just took pictures/videos and checked trichomes 7/22 checked trichomes. The very top nugs have some amber on them and the rest are mostly cloudy. Wish I wouldve been checking the trichomes sooner so I couldve started flushing sooner. I wish i wouldve stopped using open sesame sooner as well. Next time im gonna do some things different with these plants. Once the soils dry probably gonna chop

Semana 14 desde semilla. La planta sigue creciendo lustrosa y engordando las colas, a pesar de alguna incidencia. - A mitad de semana comencé a notar pequeñas quemaduras en la punta de las hojas más grandes, hice un riego con agua pura y medí la concentración de PPM en el agua escurrida en el plato. La medida me dió cifras locas de hasta PPM: 7500, es una medida altísima para mis propósitos, pero tampoco se puede comparar con altas concentraciones PPM surgidas de riegos con fertilizantes químicos, donde esas medidas hubieran matado irremediablemente el cultivo. Los motivos de estas altas concentraciones de minerales y nutrientes en el sustrato son por causa de un exceso de aporte de nutrientes líquidos, sin dar descanso y oportunidad al cultivo de ir digiriendo los nutrientes que le aplico, - Dos días después de la detección del desequilibro en el sustrato, puse 3L de agua de lluvia (EC: 0,036) y bajo el nivel de PPM hasta 1500. Como se demuestra un lavado de raíces en un sustrato puramente orgánico es mucho más fácil por la poca agua necesaria, ya que el arrastre o disolución de componentes sobrantes es mucho más directa y no necesita tanta agua como para disolver las sales acumuladas de fertilizaciones químicas. Cuando se hace un lavado de raíces como el anterior, se debe de tener en cuenta que, el elemento que más rápidamente se pierde por el lixiviado es el Nitrógeno, en base a esto observar las señales de falta de nitrógeno y corregir en posteriores riegos. • En base a lo anterior, partir de esta semana comienzo a aplicar otra estrategia para el riego con nutrientes, el cambio lo voy a hacer en todos los cultivos y se trata de esperar al menos 72h desde el último aporte de nutrientes (Sólidos o líquidos) para aplicar nuevos, mientras tanto, si la planta necesita riego, lo haré sólo con agua para de esta manera dar tiempo a la planta a digerir todos los nutrientes convenientemente, voy a bajar también el nivel de EC en todos los riegos durante todo el cultivo, además voy a hacer formulaciones nutricionales más simples y específicas, excepto componentes que sistemáticamente incluyo en todos los riegos como el Ormus, la melaza o la miel, con este cambio de estrategia estaré muy atento a las señales de la planta, el motivo del cambio es primero para reforzar mi autocontrol frente a mi afición a sobrealimentar las plantas debido a mi colección de preparados 😋, aunque no es fácil bloquear dramáticamente una planta cultivada con puros elementos orgánicos, estoy observando un exagerado EC en el agua sobrante de las macetas, esto me indica que los MM están haciendo muy bien su trabajo de disolver los componentes del sustrato, componentes que al añadirlos en demasía enriquecen sin medida el sustrato haciéndolo demasiado denso, perjudicando su eficacia. 😕 DIETA SEMANAL 1) Día 99. Ormus 2%, Bio frutas NP 2%, Lacto fermento MMM 1%, Hidrolizado de Pezuña 0,25% y Melaza. PH: 6.33 EC: 2.0 - 900ml. 2) Día 100. Ormus 1,5%, Humato PK 1,5% y Melaza. PH: 6.3 EC: 1.66 - 600ml. 3) Día 101. Ormus 2,2%, MMA 3%, Melaza y Lixiviado 2%. PH: 6.6 EC: 2.0 - 500ml. 4) Día 102. Ormus 1%, Humato Mineral 2% y Melaza. PH: 6.4 EC: 1.87 - 900ml. 5) Día 103. Sólo agua pura con miel. PH: 6.8 EC: 0.350 - 600ml. 6) Día 104. Agua pura con miel y 1% de MMA y Ormus. PH: 6.37 EC: 0.850 - 800ml. 7) Día 105. Agua de lluvia. PH: 6.8 EC: 0,036. 3L. (Recojo 1,8 litros de lixiviado que uso diluido para regar mis geranios y otras flores) 😂 GROWING TIPS Lacto fermento experimental con auxinas y enriquecido con minerales y nutrientes NP, para usar desde germinación hasta preflora. Debido a que disponía de 1,2 litros de auxinas líquidas y estaban a poco de caducar he comenzado este bio fertilizante con la intención de mantener una solución de riego rico en auxinas naturales y otros elementos específicos para enraizado y crecimiento vegetativo. 1) Obtención del suero de leche con leche fresca o pasteurizada. a) Calentar la leche entre 70°C a 90°C b) Apagar el fuego y añadir el zumo de 1 limón grande. c) Revolver con madera hasta que se vea la leche cortada. d) Dejar enfriar 30 minutos. e) Colar y filtrar para separar el suero de la materia sólida. f) De 1,5l de leche pasteurizada he sacado 1,2l. de suero. 2) Mezclar el suero con melaza y miel 3) Pesar los componentes sólidos y añadirlos al recipiente digestor. Añado zanahoria picada para garantizar la presencia de Boro. 4) Añadir al suero, Bacterias ácido lácticas (BAL), levadura de pan y Ormus. 5) Añadir la mezcla al barril. 6) Agitar vigorosamente. 7) Añado el agua de auxinas.* 8) Cierro herméticamente el recipiente y coloco la válvula de escape de gases. 9) Lo dejo fermentar al menos por 30 días. Cuanto más tiempo se mantenga en fermentación mejor es el resultado del lacto fermento, como el vino!! * Para todos mis fermentados y bioles uso agua de un manantial de montaña cercano, este agua es muy alcalina PH: 9.2 y contiene mucho mineral: EC: 0.85, la uso para compensar la acidez de los fermentados y garantizar un aporte seguro de carbonato cálcico y trazas minerales. El preparado comenzó a fermentar a los 20 minutos de cerrar el barril. Probaré este lacto fermento incluyéndolo en mis procesos de germinación y crecimiento. Saludos y hasta la próxima semana!! 😷

Hello growmies! Welcome to week ten of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! I have been fertigating and also emptying the de-humidifier water into the driest looking substrate as it fills up. I have been keeping the tent door open and pushing more air through with fans. Daily Updates ### Week 10 Day 1 11:00 27/8 Photographed. ### Week 10 Day 3 17:00 29/8 Photographed. ### Week 10 Day 4 06:00 30/8 Fertigated 4l ### Week 10 Day 5 23:00 31/8 Have inspected very closely. I have had to tied up just about every branch on plant 2 as the buds are rapidly approaching peak density and the weight of them is causing all the stems to bend over. Despite not having a main cola, if I manage to harvest, dry, and cure this plant, I think it's going to exceed 100g. The highest buds are showing around 2-3% amber - I am counting the days now, this girl is very close. The harvest window is open, but I am waiting for about 10 times more amber. Interestingly. using the loupe I have discovered that plant 1 is likely to be the next to be harvested despite both plants 4 and 5 being ahead of her. She is showing early signs of fade and I am seeing about 1% amber. No fade, no amber on the other three plants. Some heat stress/damage on higher fan leaves. Not concerned, nothing do be done, the plants got too big and I am only happy to be able to keep them upright and still in the tent, even though they are higher than the light. I will take proper photos tomorrow. --- Thanks for reading growmies! 👊 ========== Tent: 120cm x 120cm x 180cm Light: 600w HID Elite Dual Spectrum HPS + Angel Wing Reflector Air: 5" duct fan system with carbon filter ~300 m3/hour + RAM 9" floor fan + 4" intake fan Pots: Air Pruner Fabric Pots 30l - UGro XL Coco + horticultural grade perlite (~20%) Seeds supplied by Royal Queen Seeds https://www.royalqueenseeds.com Nutrients supplied by Shogun Fertilisers https://www.shogunfertilisers.com/en ==========

Utopia Haze is a rare heavily sativa dominant hybrid (90% sativa/10% indica) strain created through back crossing Brazilian Sativa strains. This tasty little bud took home 1st Place for Best Sativa in the 2008 High Times’ Cannabis Cup and for good reason – with its potent 18-22% average THC level and long lasting cerebral effects, Utopia Haze is one powerhouse smoke. The Utopia Haze high comes on soon after you finish your first toke, hitting you with a strong cerebral lift that infuses you with a sense of hazy relaxation. Type: Feminised/Photoperiod Cultivation: Indoor/Outdoor Flowering Time (days): 70-75 Indoor Yield (g): Up to 650 Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month: October Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month Week: 3rd-4th week Aroma: Citrus, Woody, Pungent, Mint Effect: Cerebral Lift, Hazy Relaxation, Sleepy Welcome Everyone to the Final Entry of my Utopia Haze Grow ! There is so much to discuss ! I have been extremely busy as of late trying to get this Harvest together, but i am happy to have it here for you now ! I Seriously under estimated the amount of time, help from others, and my own necessary skills to pull this off.. and i still kind of screwed it up lol ! But its worth noting i have never actually done this before and trying to document it during....was extremely hard. It is next to impossible to work an iPhone with rubber gloves on ! First I want to discuss everything step by step so before you jump straight into the comments on how the end product is so small in "quantity" Rest assured i am happy with its"quality"...and thats all that matters to me because Life is a journey not a destination! and i have learned so much from this grow that I couldn't be any happy even if i messed some things up :) But at the very least I hope you read through this entry in its entirety with an open mind and focus more on the process, rather than just the outcome! I ran out of Ice & i was only able to wash three times..(normally I've heard you should go sometimes 5-6 washes) Preparation is Key & things will be much better next round :) Photos 1-22 These are pretty self explanatory but for those of you just tuning in now.. this is what happens to a very happy plant when you don't have the necessary tools to monitor key components of growing cannabis.. Ph, as well as EC levels play a very key role in the outcome of your grow lol that being said I was just able to save this plant by purchasing both tools but that doesn't mean the plant didn't suffer because of the prior events.. This was a Huge reason behind me choosing to turn this harvest into what i would consider "Solventless Hash Rosin" from "Ice water extracted Bubble hash". Pictures 23 The idea here is the process of using "fresh Frozen Cannabis" this has been discussed many a time online on such sites as instagram and here on grow diaries as well.. I personally have Never tried the process so i decided to try it out and make a judgement for myself.. Video 24 The Cannabis has now been in the freezer for 72 hours making it very well frozen.. as you can tell i struggled getting it all into the 25u Screen Wash Bag. One thing of note i would do differently is i will de-stem my next batch as i also believe this played a part in the amount of plant matter that escaped through the sieves. Photo/Video's 25-28 The idea here is "ice water Seiving" & especially with the bags that I am using here that are only have screen material on the bottom portion of the bag it is very important to have spaces in-between the screens to allow the water to pass directly through the screens into the bottom bucket with the least amount of resistance.. because the hash is so extremely temperature dependant if it gets warm on the side of the bag.. it will stick there and not make it to the bottom to become use able product.. 29 You do not need to use as much Ice as i used here lol... the idea is to keep everything very cold..i certainly achieved that but at the sacrifice of using so much that i ended up grinding product and producing "contaminants" but in the end they are just plant matter that i would be smoking when i rolled up my joint either way so.. I'm not super disappointed.. But it should be noted that what you want to achieve here is a Layering effect where you have the wash bag between two small layers of ice while the "water current" washes the Trichomes away allowing them to be separated by the screens setup below :) Before Starting the machine you should allow some time (i.e.;10-12minutes pre soak to allow the product to become saturated) before the first cycle. By video 32 I have just ran out of ice lol.. Video 33-34 Here I have a tip for you.. to separate the screens that you sieve through.. cut 5 gallon buckets to stretch them across nice and tight.. it'll make scooping your Bubble that much easier ! i learned this from the many "Frenchy" videos I have watched :) Picture 35 Here in lays the problem for most people.. drying your hash without loosing vast amounts of "Terpenes" whilst also stay ever vigilant against mold ! Thanks to all those videos I've watched on youtube.. id like to think this was one of my most successful parts of this process.. Things to Note; Terpenes start to seriously evaporate at temperatures 68F or 20C you need to stay as cold as possible whilst bringing the Relative Humidity in the space down into the 40-30% to stay away from that nasty mold ! I used my cold storage room in the basement.. with a dehumidifier running to keep the space at 45% RH & staying at a constant 15c. All while spreading the hash as thin as possible across parchment paper, on top of the white screens with a fan moving air across both sides of the paper. Pictures 36-38 These are some macros i took in the middle of my drying session I fell in love with the colour. Yes i know the black spots are plant material but they will get caught when i bag the hash & squish the oil out. Thing to Note; at this stage it is important to ensure you 'micro plane" the hash down as fine as you can whilst staying weary of the temperature... any "chunks" will hold pockets of moisture.. that lead to potential problems..ie; mold ... Picture/Video 39-41 Successfully planed bubble hash ready to be bagged and Squished ! Picture 42 Ive decided to follow Pedro.. from Pedros Grow Room and double bag to be on the safe side so i don't have any blow outs. So thats One 25u bag inside one 160u bag ! :) Pictures 43 This is almost 3 grams of the bubble hash from above, already melting in the bag.. this is where i ran into trouble again lol things started getting to warm in the house and i was only able to get one of the three squish's i did on video :( things started getting sticky. Picture 44 This is basically just a photo of the equipment I'm using; 3x5 LowTemp Cage in the frame I built myself, with a 20Ton bottle jack. Something to note here is this is an older Lowtemp model with only a single heating zone which is which i have it closed here heating Both sides of the press :) As well as the importance of having adequate pressure on your plates.. my rig is very overkill for the size of hash bags..lol Video 45 Here is the lovely press video.. its didn't quite work the way i wanted either lol my directional folding wasn't quite tight enough for a big "drip" :) &the Press was set to 65°c Photo's 46-50 are pretty self explanatory :) I had a blow out.. but still managed to pull an 80% return from the hash once squished...& yes it tasted amazing :) Was it worth it in the end... that could be debated.. for some..i understand..its not your thing, but for those of us that are interested in making our own concentrates.. free from Solvents... I wouldn't make it any other way :) If even ONE of you reading this diary finds it helpful to reference for ANYTHING.....even if its "what not to do" ill consider it a success ! Thanks again for tagging along on this garden adventure.. its been one heck of a journey ! Much Love from B.C. Canada, Until Next time, Cariboo

She has fought off all pest and environment issues and is very stable. She was switched to a 20 hour light cycle at mid to end of flower and she took that well and swelled further. Opened her up on the inside to the let the light in and she has rewarded with fat little nugs all the way down her stems!! She liked the LST and would push harder the day after being tied down. She finished just a beautiful girl and she will be on a screen saver for a few months to come😃😃😃
